 *
 * User space RCU is based on URCU utilizing signals [1]. This
 * implementation does not however signal each thread of the process
 * to issue a memory barrier. Instead, we introduced a syscall that
 * issues memory barriers (via IPIs) on cpus that are running threads
 * of the current process. First, it does not require us to schedule
 * and run every thread of the process. Second, IPIs are less intrusive
 * than switching contexts and entering user space.
 *
 * This algorithm is further modified to require a single instead of
 * two reader group changes per grace period. Signal-URCU flips
 * the reader group and waits for readers of the previous group
 * twice in succession in order to wait for new readers that were
 * delayed and mistakenly associated with the previous reader group.
 * The modified algorithm ensures that the new reader group is
 * always empty (by explicitly waiting for it to become empty).
 * Only then does it flip the reader group and wait for preexisting
 * readers of the old reader group (invariant of SRCU [2, 3]).
